The title says it all. I installed TiMidiy++ with a simple "yum install timidity++", I downloaded and complied Rosegarden 0.9.9. I can play a MIDI file with "timidity <filename>", but when I start Rosegarden and load a file and try to play it it looks like it's playing, but there is no sound.

Although my knowledge of audio is poor, I know that MIDIs are different from standard audio files, and that you can get your soundcard to play MIDI, and that TiMidity++ is a software solution. Though that's all I know.

Is there someway of getting Rosegarden to actually play MIDIs? Could I get it to use TiMidity++ to play the MIDIs?

I've been looking around and I came upon this page. The author explains how to make MIDIs play through TiMidity++, sounds good. All you do is compile TiMidity++ with alsaseq support. However I can't do this. I get errors in make.

The error is this:
Has anyone got this method to work? If so did you have to poke it a bit to get it to work? Is this the right approach to take?
